Nestled between Indiana and Pennsylvania, lies a state that has yet to be fully tapped of it's musical capacity. In a region whose lineage reflects that of Babyface, Gerald Levert, The O'Jays, James Ingram, Roger Troutman and Zapp, The Gap Band and Avant among others, Conya is the latest female vocalist to emerge from and hold steadfast to her Midwestern roots. Much like what her predecessors Erykah Badu, India.Arie and Jill Scott did for Dallas, Atlanta and Philly, Conya has already pinned Ohio on the soul music map. She has graced the covers of many local publications, sold out shows in the Midwest, abd regularly appears on FOX 8 News Cleveland. She collaborated with Detroit vocalist Dwele on McDonald's nationwide McCafe commercial. And if thats not enough, Conya as received many accolades for her phenomenal music. Conya Doss has a voice that sounds like it's both from the past and the future. She is classical-influenced, blues-influenced, R&B-influenced and rock-influenced. Herein lies the brilliance of how she collectively and seamlessly creates great music. Doss has built a solid reputation over the years as the modern benchmark for any young female artist and her forthcoming studio project Pocket Full of Purpose highlights that. With beauty, grace and confidence, the poised songstress has composed an 11-song compilation of warm and personal tracks that are full of soul with huge melodies. The skillful arrangement of horns, strings and piano riffs suit her finely crafted lyrics about love, life and pursuing your dreams
